3.2 exhaust F1 sound

Are there any aftermarket 3.2 exhausts around with x-pipe design to produce the typical F1 sound?
All the ones I have heard on the net just make more noise but no F1 sound.

On the T it seems to be no problem.
This is the sound I am looking for.

Thank you for the links.

The first magnaflow is the closest to the f1 sound.

I think that one day I will have a custom exhaust build.
Key to the good sound, seems to be equal length from headers to x-pipe and then 2 boxes to reduce the volume.
With the transverse engine position, it is more of challenge since front bank is further away but on a euro non cat system it should be possible.

 

Many have tried.

Unfortunately, one limitation is the lower RPM redline when compared to, let's say, the 355.

 

I'd agree the links we're awesome and great assortment. I liked the maganflow and have used them on my truck and Camaro currently. I'll have to check fit as have a early 3.2 cab Euro. Currently the stock has been modified by 2" to stick further out. With almost 30 years it's rusty and risky to cut and remove the added on pip length. Trying to find a stock Euro will be spendy and difficult.

Mondial 3.2 with tubistyle exhaust.

 

Exactly. Whichever exhaust you'll put on the 3,2 litre V8, it will never give you the F1 sound: it's down to the engine itself, it does not make that noise and can't, whatever you try. By the way, old F1 afficionados like me recall the V8 Cosworth sound, an engine that looks remarkably similar to the QV/3,2: it was not really a nice song...
To my ear (to my ear: it may differ for someone else...) the nicest sound you'll get from the 3,2 engine is with a Tubi exhaust (muffler) AND Tubi manifolds (or headers) and intermediary pipes. But it is not cheap...and it is not the F1 sound (and the car cannot be "classiched" in that configuration, should you desire to have it "classiched" one day)

This is a clip from a 348.
It has the same redline as a 3.2 @7500 rpm.

The high pitch sound start at 4000 rpm so it can not all be rpm related.

I am sure if someone could make an equal length exhaust with x-pipes it can be done.

I might be tempted to have a go at it myselves, a friend of mine is a expert welder.

 

FANTASTIC sound!

 

I am in the middle of working on fitting electric exhaust cut out(s) to my 3.2 like I did to the 4.0 in my Jag below.

Different configuration, but I think, with proper set up after the cut out, I will get the sound I want.

Nice thing about the cut outs is you are not stuck with one sound, you can open them a little or a lot and get the sound you want, then close them up and be close to stock, no drone, no upset neighbors!

I am going to try to come up with a kit that will replace the cat with a test pipe so the assembly can be "bolt on" easy.

We'll see.....

I think the "F1 sound" is generally attributed to the very high RPMs of the Formula 1 Ferraris.

While your 348 example sounds awesome, I wouldn't say that it has an F1 sound (high-pitch whine/wail/buzz). But it's close.

BTW, the 348 has the benefit of longitudinal packaging of it's motor. So equal-length exhausts are easier to design/install. Of course, there's always the t Coupe...

 

That one has separate mufflers for each bank:

This is the setup used on the moneytron racing mondials.
I would like to make a similar setup but with x-pipes.

In this clip you can hear the difference in sound between a x-pipe setup and straight pipes.

From a side link on the video posted by Milko, here is a video of my car, also with a Tubi. The purpose of our ride was to record the sound of the car going through the Windsor/Detroit tunnel.

Hi guys,

Re-using this older thread instead of starting a new one.

Does anyone know which exhaust was fitted to the Mondial in the YouTube video below? I would love to get a similar sound on my 3.2...
